A Lunch & Learn Round Table Discussion Meeting

Right Sizing HPC Resources for Local and Cloud Resources

Abstract:

Historically Moore’s Law has helped the application performance and the HPC industry in broad strokes, but this has changed over the past decade to include a dizzying amount of CPU, Network, and Storage choices that make architecting any sized systems difficult at best. Understanding your applications need in both the small and the large scale help significantly when selecting next generation platforms, or sometimes last generation platforms when it makes better sense. Fastest wall time? Number of concurrent jobs? Power consumption? What is most important to you? We’ll go over testing methods and benchmarks with ISV and Open Source software that help ensure the best computing for your buck.
